The words on the sign said it all, "Heartsong Church welcomes Memphis Islamic Center to the neighborhood."

"Once we put up the sign, within three days people from Memphis Islamic Center contacted us and were overwhelmed with emotion that we would be so welcoming."

Steve Stone, pastor of Heartsong Church, said when he heard about plans for the multimillion dollar Memphis Islamic Center Complex being built near his church, he knew he had to react.

Way to go pastor Steve Stone. A applaud your actions. Tolerance of another's beliefs are at the very foundation of our nation and a core value of our liberal democracy. It’s good to see it in practice.
